Is anyone’s baby still not talking and are you starting to worry? Baring in mind my son is a great walker and was walking confidently from the age of 1

Looking for advice on what we should be buying to prep for crawling and weaning please? Baby is 5 months and looks like she'll be crawling soon, should I get a playpen? Or just baby proof corners? Or both? Anything else..? Also any advice on what we should get for weaning apart from a chair, spoon, sippy sup, suct...

My baby has just hit 4 months and hasn’t laughed yet. He smiles all the time and is very vocal but still hasn’t laughed. I guess I’m getting a little worried as when I search I hear most babies are laughing by now. Is this normal? He’s hitting all other milestones perfectly, even started rolling from back to front t...

My 5 month old fell asleep in the car as I went to my mum's today. He's been there before and sees her multiple times a week.. . I left him nap while mum and I had tea and a chat. When I heard him start to rouse I went into his room and picked him up and cuddles him as usual. He seemed a little off... Then he looked...

Is screaming a sign of autism? My LO at 5months does this mostly when she’s tired or it’s too noisy and bright. She’s been doing it on and off for about a month or so …should I be worried? Does anyone else’s LO do it?

Not a complaint, more a curiosity! My son is so loud; he’ll babble and burble for maybe 20 minutes straight at times 🤪😂 When he wakes in the morning, he’ll have a good babble before we start the day. Anyone else’s baby noisy?

Is it weird that my newborn is smiling a lot and he’s only a week old?? Should I be worried It’s kinda scary cos I never had this with my first till he was about a month ish old 😂😩

My baby is asleep and I've just noticed this there is loads I've cleaned it all up and can't really see any fresh cuts and it looks like the actual inside of his ear looks a bit bluddy to this has happened a few times when he is self soothing to sleep he plays with his ears and sometimes his nails will scratch the i...

My almost 4yo is so so mischievous, he will do all sorts of known no-nos so he ends up in time outs (like hitting we don’t redirect with that,it’s time out). then he’s been good for a few days/week, he starts getting maybe reckless playing-throws a big stuffy at baby knocking her over so time out for first time in a...

Has anybody else’s baby started throwing their arms around and smacking them during feedings? My baby just randomly started doing it the other day and it’s cracking me up!😂

Was on the phone with a relative. They suddenly started shouting at their child (7 year old boy) for trying on high heels. They said “Don’t ever let me catch you doing that again. You’re a boy, not a woman. It’s disgusting. Makes me sick”. I said that he is a child and just playing, he probably is not even thinki...

Hi, is anyone else’s 16 month old just constantly screaming and crying when something isn’t slightly as they’d like? He’s never been like this unless a week ago! I was pretty lucky in the baby stage.

Or when people say “my baby” to my actual baby gets on my last nerves. For example my SIL always does it. Is there a way I can stop it? 😩

Can they put 2 or 3 words together in context to make a little phrase or sentence? Is this something they'll learn soon or not yet? Or already supposed to be learning? Just asking as I overheard a conversation at playgroup between two mums that's made me worried my son is behind

Ok so my lil boy is 10 months and 2 weeks. But my nephew who is one day older than him can actually “talk” like he responds and communicates. I’m thinking is my nephew too advanced for his age or is it normal for babies to not talk at this stage yet 😩

Hi mama’s! My little one will be 18 months old soon . I’m starting to get worried at this point. He can only say dada and about 2 weeks ago he said mama a couple of times. He doesn’t point he only claps his hands when we say “ well done “ or when he finishes his shapes sorter . If I ask his to bring something t...

Hi mamas, grandparents have started noticing the tantrums n are calling my LB moody, angry lil boy etc etc. I’ve read it’s normal for them to have tantrums and be emotional at this stage? Yes his tantrums are very difficult for me to deal with. But I isolate him when he’s like that take him in my room or anywhere se...

I’ve never known how I feel about reins on young kids - I’m not sure why! My little one is now 15mo and all he wants to do is run about and be in everything and go everywhere! He is okay in his pram for maybe 5 minutes before he realises hang on, I want to be walking with you! I’d love to be able to let him out ...

My 13 month old has been crawling since 11 months. She’s not standing unassisted but feel like she’s almost there. This week she’s started doing a downward dog about! Is this her preparing to stand or is she just into her yoga 😂

This might sound like a weird concern but I just don't think my toddler is as fearless as I would expect a typical toddler to be... She's quite cautious and reserved and when you think of toddlers you think of these chaotic fearless tiny people just barrelling around everywhere 😂 I have a friend who has a little…
